Setting the height of the UINavigationBar

Question

I have set a UINavigationBar background image to an image with a height of 68px as opposed to the default 44px. Now the image is shown fine, but the content in the UINavigationController is overlapped in the first (68-44)px = 12px by the header image.

How do I fix this? I have tried setting the frame of the UINavigationBar without luck.

Thanks, Caspar.

This is my code (AppDelegate.m):

UINavigationController *navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:self.frontTableViewController];
UINavigationBar *navBar = navigationController.navigationBar;
[navBar setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"header"] forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
self.window.rootViewController = navigationController;

This only sets the title image of that particular `navigationItem` - I want the navigation bar to be a static image (with a greater height than 44px) while still having the UINavigationBar functionality – casparjespersen May 03 '13 at 12:34

I found the solution in that link. The solution was to redefine `sizeThatFits` to the kind in the link. – casparjespersen May 03 '13 at 12:49
